Homeschoolmom3 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Okay, so I am finally getting cable internet after a four year struggle and we are psyched! I am getting out of the dark era! So what are your favorite school apps or websites? I have all ages so anything from K-college. Thanks !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocolate-chip chooky Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 We love the following youtube channels: - It's Okay to Be Smart - How to Make Everything - Crash Course - Sci Show A great website is: http://unplugthetv.com/ We pop in and out of Khan Academy for a range of things. We also use MOOCs from providers such as Coursera, Udacity, FutureLearn etc. There's so much out there, it's hard to know where to start. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candicane Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 If you're worried about the student using the computer and accessing sites they shouldn't while working on school work give Forest [there's phone and browser versions] a try, it allows you to list sites that aren't accessible during a timeframe, and motivates the student to stay on task by growing a tree every 30 mins. If they venture away, they'll kill the tree. For history, my favorite website is http://besthistorysites.net/ , there's so much content on it! Also google sites with documentaries, there are a lot free online for times when you just want something to watch. Documentary Heaven is a great one.
